Climbing Croagh Patrick Ireland’s Holy Mountain (Day 40)

Published 2023-11-13
I climb Ireland’s Holy Mountain - Croagh Patrick hike. Hiking Croagh Patrick is quite challenging but volunteers have done some fantastic work on the path to ensure more safety. Just FYI When you reach the steep section of the climb, it is likely that you will be more sheltered than you were on the lower reaches of the mountain as the peak often acts as a wind breaker against the wind/rain.

If you enjoyed this episode, you might consider checking out the support page for my videos. I really enjoy making them, but they still require a lot of time and effort to put together:

  • Thanks so much for posting your videos. My wife and I visited Ireland for the first time two weeks ago and we were blessed with a weather window on the day we were planning to hike Croagh Patrick. The rain stopped when we got to the parking lot and the peak was obscured in clouds. When we reached the peak the clouds cleared up so we could see the incredible views as we prayed for our family and friends. The winds picked up on the way down and the rain started as we reached our car. Our entire trip was a blessing.

    I climbed it last year. it was much tougher than I thought. beautiful view of Clew Bay, Home of Grace O Malley.....Fun Fact Croagh Patrick Has Millions worth of gold in its geology that was never exploited because of its historical, mythological and tourist value. A rare forward thinking approach by the powers that be...
